Il
in on this mornings train from the north.
At about half past 2 o'clock the two clubs
in carriages were preceded in parade on
Main street and Douglas avenue, by the
Knights of Pythias band, who also discoursed
music during the progress OF the game.
Today the parade will take place earlier and
the band will also play at the park. Consid-
ering the condition of the roads, there was
very good crowd in attendance. The ladies
did not turn out as largely as
was expected, which was in all probability
owing to the somewhat threatening weather.
